I was wrong before saying we should trade Yao and tmac. We dont need artest or dwight. All we need is more patience to let steve grow into the offense, and more time for Yao to learn how to box out and get rebounds. All we need is more time till Alston comes back from his injury. ALston and his 30% shooting will save us when he comes back.. I love this team, even Battier. When the playoffs roll around Battiers defense will be needed. JVG was an idiot. He couldnt get us past Utah. Adelman will take us to the finals. Book it. ADelman has a great movement offense and even though tmac has off nights, tmac is a great player and will figure things out. There should be NO TRADES. A trade will backfire. Because if there is a trade, then it will take a few more months for the new players to learn this patented Adelman "offense".
RA's system is motion offense. Tmac's offense is one on one. Do you realize where it disconnects? Unless Tmac realizes that in order to win big, we need to involve everybody on the team, then this team is not going anywhere. Remember, this team is not like Orlando when tmac was there. This team is full of talent, we cannot afford to give tmac 25 shots a game. Our coach has to find a way to make everybody eelse involved.
T-Mac is leading the team in assists by a good margin, his TO's are low and he is taking as many FGA per game as last year when he averaged nearly 7APG. What the team needs is more consistency in playcalling, and changes to some offensive sets as tey simply don't work with this personel.
We are not asking for wholesale changes to be made, just asking RA to tweak the starting lineup. You can't have basically 3 non-scorers in the starting lineup. And since McGrady can't take advantage of his height advantage at the 2 position, it is time RA puts his butt at the 3.
T-mac always shots whenever he likes. Get it?It's nice. Miss it?....... I don't think 2 point in the paint area has less value than 2 point get from one step inside 3 point line. Please close to the basket and shot, at least, 2 free throw is also acceptable......Um....T-mac free throw seems....... I only hope T-Mac shots when the teammates knows he will shot. Perhaps he send a sign to other guys... Don't make a shot like a lottery.Not only to the rockets,but me as well.
I heard a quote on tv that Rudy T once said. It goes along the lines of: "You can judge a team or a player's character by seeing how they respond during tough times." I think that quote holds true to fans as well. That's why I hate typical Houston Rockets "fans." Last year's playoffs and empty seats showed me everything.
